Anyone with any info on pressure please help me out! :D
I've got a 1.8 8V (engine code EX I think) Golf Clipper Cabriolet. I bought it with the owner informing me of suspicions of low oil pressure.
However this evening I plugged in a gauge I bought and it read 100+ psi!!?!?!?
I am led to believe standard is 28psi (2.0 BAR).
If anyone has any knowledge on this it would be great!
I think this is a faulty gauge however I just bought it?!
Thanks,
Zack

if the pressure really is over 100psi it may be the relief valve in the oil pump has failed/siezed

Did another test and had time to let it warm up a bit thanks to daylight this time!
It got down to about 50-60psi which is roughly 3-4 BAR i seem to remember but no less.
Is there anything to worry about here or need I not worry?
Thanks again,
Zack

So why can it differ if I'm taking the sensor out and plugging my gauge in? Surely it should just read the pressure? Unless its that the gauge and the actual part where gauge can plug in to differ? Just to clarify lol
Cheers.

So if the 0-5 and 0-10 thing is mismatched it could in theory be reading like double what it should be?
